SHORT DESCRIPTION:
A student electronic portfolio is a valuable tool for the 21st century classroom that enables the student and teacher to reflect on the student’s progress and set goals for continued learning. In this session the attendee will become more familiar with electronic portfolios and how to implement them into middle school and high school curriculum. There will be an introduction to the different types of portfolios and the tools available to create them. The creation of an electronic portfolio will be demonstrated using a free online tool. How to post class work, file types used for accessibility, and how to manage and assess the student’s portfolio will be covered. After this session the teachers will feel more comfortable with integrating electronic portfolios into their own 21st century curriculum.

Ewan McIntosh from NoTosh.com believes that too often ePortfolios are just an electronic version of teachers and students sharing their finished work. In this EDtalk he emphasises that the messy thinking and working processes also need to be an element of the eportfolio, which should be shared wider than just the local school.
